Daihatsu Yrv 1.0 Manual 2002

4 star review

I was looking for a small car, reliable with low running costs. I found a 02 plate 1.0l YRV on Auto Trader. Having never seen one before I tried to find reviews but there appear to be none for the 1 litre variant. The engine is a well proven 3 cylinder (as in the old Charades). It’s performance is as expected and is perfect for my 11 mile commute on A roads and one junction of the motorway. The fact it is only three cylinder is only obvious when idling, it is slightly lumpy compared to a 4. Fuel consumption is quite good for mixed driving, coming in around 40-45mpg but I would have expected a bit more. This is no track day car and the handling is, well, interesting. The interior is reasonable and feels surprisingly roomy. Electric windows and mirrors. The boot is a usable size and can fit a couple of small cases or a medium sized dog. All in all, I am pleased, it was never intended for excitement but is practical to me.

2 star review

I was initially very impressed with the YRV I purchased six months ago (53 plate). A lot of car for a little money and a good amount of space, however, after driving this for a little while I’ve realised why. Handling is dreadful and taking a sharp bend requires nerves of steel. As a run around not bad but I don’t think I’ll be hanging on to this much longer.
